Great Lakes Loons (High-A) — Split Doubleheader: L 1-4 / W 16-1 vs Fort Wayne

Let’s start here because Game 2 was an absolute demolition. Charles Davalan put on the kind of show you circle in your notebook — 2-for-4 with two home runs, six RBI, and a walk. That’s a career night at any level. Davalan has been flashing raw power since he arrived in the system, and when he connects like this against High-A arms, it’s hard not to get excited about the ceiling. The centerfielder drove in more than a third of the team’s runs by himself. Keep an eye on this one.

But Davalan wasn’t the only one feasting. Logan Wagner matched him with a 3-for-5 line that included a homer, a double, four RBI, a stolen base, and three runs scored. That’s as complete an offensive game as you’ll see from a middle infielder at this level. Nico Perez also had a huge day across both games — more on him in a second — going 2-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI, a stolen base, and three runs in Game 2. Eduardo Quintero quietly went 3-for-5 with three runs scored, staying locked in all game. Jose Meza collected three hits of his own, and Victor Rodrigues chipped in with a 2-for-4 line and an RBI. Cameron Decker drove in two with a hit and a walk. When the lineup clicks like this from top to bottom, the score gets ugly fast.

On the mound, Christian Zazueta was outstanding — four innings, seven strikeouts, one walk, one earned run. That’s a dominant start in a doubleheader format where you know you only need to get through a shortened outing. He attacked the zone, racked up punchouts, and gave the offense all the runway it needed. Davis Chastain followed with a clean inning of relief, striking out two to pick up the win.

Now, about Perez across the doubleheader. In Game 1 — a 1-4 loss — he was one of the few bright spots, going 2-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, a stolen base, and a strikeout. Then he turned around and produced again in Game 2. That’s a combined 4-for-6 day with a homer, a double, three RBI, two stolen bases, and four runs scored across both games. The versatility is notable too — he played second base in Game 1 and third base in Game 2. That kind of defensive flexibility paired with offensive production is exactly what the Dodgers value in their development model. Samuel Munoz drew a walk and swiped a bag in Game 1 but the lineup couldn’t get much else going in the opener.

Oklahoma City Comets (Triple-A) — L 3-9 vs Las Vegas Aviators

Not the night we were hoping for from our guys in OKC. A 3-9 loss to Las Vegas is never fun, but Austin Gauthier provided the offensive highlight worth tracking. He went 2-for-4 with a home run, an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored. The power-speed combination continues to show up in his game, and that’s encouraging even in a lopsided loss. Can he sustain it over a full week? That’s the next step we want to see.

Noah Miller went 0-for-2 at the plate but drew two walks and struck out once. The hit column is empty, but two walks from a young shortstop suggest he wasn’t chasing and was being disciplined at the plate — something that matters more than it looks in a box score. Michael Siani went 0-for-3 with a strikeout and a stolen base. The legs are always a weapon for Siani, but the bat needs to come along. A quiet night overall for the offense beyond Gauthier.
